Ipsus, battle of

Years: 301BCE - 301BCE

The Battle of Ipsus is fought between some of the Diadochi (the successors of Alexander the Great) in 301 BCE near the village of that name in Phrygia.

Antigonus I Monophthalmus and his son Demetrius I of Macedon are pitted against the coalition of three other companions of Alexander: Cassander, ruler of Macedon; Lysimachus, ruler of Thrace; and Seleucus I Nicator, ruler of Babylonia and Persia.

"History should be taught as the rise of civilization, and not as the history of this nation or that. It should be taught from the point of view of mankind as a whole, and not with undue emphasis on one's own country. Children should learn that every country has committed crimes and that most crimes were blunders. They should learn how mass hysteria can drive a whole nation into folly and into persecution of the few who are not swept away by the prevailing madness."

—Bertrand Russell, On Education (1926)
